BERLIN (Reuters) - A 43-year-old German man was taken to hospital in critical condition after he fell off a second storey balcony during a spitting contest with his 12-year-old son, police said Friday.

A spokesman for the police in the eastern town of Cottbus said the man in Forst had apparently lost his balance after thrusting too far forward in his attempt to outspit his son.

He tumbled over the ledge and landed on a balcony of the ground floor apartment, police said. He was taken to hospital in a rescue helicopter.

I can’t blame the guy — if I had some German dude’s saliva in *my* mouth, I’d be desperate to eject it as far as possible, too.

Well hopefully he won the contest. Otherwise he broke all those bones for nothing.

One time when I was young and foolish, I got into a pissing contest. Someone had an empty 64-ounce bottle of soda water at a drinking party and challenged somebody to fill it with urine. The only thing was it had to be filled all at once with a single elimination of the bladder. The host supplied a funnel like the type you use to add oil to a car. After a few spirited attempted, the best we could do was get it half full. Then we got serious and started holding it in until it hurt. One of us got it 3/4 full but not a single person in the house was able to fill it up.

I'm sure John Belushi could have done it but we didn't invite him.
